Speaking in front of a group can be a person's greatest fear. But 4-H is committed to helping youth overcome that fear and begin presenting talks at a young age at the McPherson County 4-H Club Days.

Speaking in front of a group can be a person's greatest fear. But 4-H is committed to helping youth overcome that fear and begin presenting talks at a young age at the McPherson County 4-H Club Days.

4-H public speaking and presentation contests help teach youth life skills that are beneficial for a lifetime in their personal and professional lives. Developing self-confidence and effective public speaking skills are two goals of the McPherson County 4-H public speaking/presentations program for 4-H'ers age 7 to 19.

Participants are encouraged to give speeches to their 4-H clubs and to participate in county, regional and state contests. The McPherson County 4-H Club Days was Feb. 9 at the First United Methodist Church. Regional blue winners have the opportunity to attend the regional competition March 16 in El Dorado. Other counties in the regional competition will include: Sumner, Marion, Sedgwick, Butler, Harvey and Cowley.
